Looks like its a locals show really

I don't think "no-one" knows his identity, its just a closely guarded secret. I suspect he has a close entourage that work for him, particularly on a project like that.
Going to try and go ourselves....

you can't buy tickets online. that's part of the "theme"
The website doesn't have a place to actually buy tickets on. It's got a page that looks like you can but there's no tickets to be bought.
Turn up on the day, 2000 people get let in, then it's a 1 in 1 out policy
As for his identity. People are pretty sure they know who he is. But there's no actual proof it's him.

''Banksy'' is more than likely a group of people now, not one person. It probably was one guy years ago but as he got bigger and bigger and he had more people helping him it probably just morphed in to a collective.

I've got a weird feeling I've been there before. Even though I definitely haven't.
